@IDstewardship @cbaladadpharmd Safe antibiotic disposal is the missing link in antibiotic stewardship. Disposal via the toilet causes environmental pollution and can increase AMR. #returntopharmacy #antibioticamnesty

Thank you to all practices that took part in the 2023 Antibiotic Amnesty. The final stage of the campaign is to gather the results. Data collection from participating practices will help us audit the impact of the amnesty and will help strengthen future campaigns.

NEXT STEPS: Count up the number of antibiotics returned and collect the data you have on the total number of conversations had with clients during the campaign. Report all these numbers via the BSAVA survey link here: https://t.co/0Sc4GNRZXo

Providing this feedback allows you to enter into a Prize Draw for some amazing prizes from the BSAVA and Webinar Vet (details at the end of the survey).

The veterinary sector is coming together this November to run the #AntibioticAmnesty campaign which encourages the public to return out-of-date and unused antibiotics to help tackle the growing issue of antimicrobial resistance (AMR): https://t.co/AJUleEFGvP. @ruma_cae

Calling all vet practices. The #antibioticamnesty starts next Wednesday and runs throughout November. Everything you need to take part is located in the toolkit. Simply download the guide and assets to get started: https://t.co/72CUIygoed (scroll down the page to find the toolkit).

We have also launched a client quiz which we are encouraging practices to share on practice social media channels. This is a great way to educate and inform clients about AMR and helps gather useful insights from owners. The quiz can be accessed via the link below and there are plenty of graphics available about the quiz in the toolkit plus pre-written social media posts you can use too: https://t.co/j8f8H4oqVR
